Oscar nominations 2023: See the full list
The 2023 Oscars will be presented in person tonight, with all categories being presented live.
Here are the Oscar nominees competing to take home little golden statuettes tonight. Anne Thompson has revealed her final predictions for who will win, but it’s worth remembering how we got here.
The nominations for the 95th Academy Awards were officially announced live on Tuesday, January 24, by Oscar winners Riz Ahmed (“Sound of Metal,” “The Night Of”) and Allison Williams (“M3GAN,” “Get Out” , “Girls”) ).
“Everything Everywhere All at Once” led the pack with 11 nominations, including best picture, and nods for director Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert, and actors Stephanie Hsu, Jamie Lee Curtis, Ke Huy Quan and Michelle Yeoh.
In the month and a half since the nominations were announced, “Everything Everywhere” has become the undisputed front-runner for best picture, taking home two acting awards – Yeoh for best actress and Quan for supporting actor, with Curtis and Hsu up for grabs in the supporting actor race. “Everything Everywhere” has triumphed at virtually every awards show this season except the BAFTAs.
“The Banshees of Inisherin” received a total of nine nominations, including for actors Kerry Condon, Brendan Gleeson, Barry Keoghan and Colin Farrell. Now it probably has its best chance in the Original Screenplay category, where writer-director Martin McDonagh is loved by the Academy’s writers branch.
“All Quiet on the Western Front” also surprised with nine nominations, which shows the strong push Netflix has given it in recent months and the undeniable power of the story. Observers recognized her as a strong contender based on how well she performed on the Oscars list in December. Thompson believes he will be a contender, including for Best Cinematography.
Baz Luhrmann’s “Elvis” also received eight nominations, including best picture and Austin Butler for best actor, but Luhrmann himself missed out on best director. Butler is now arguably the front-runner for Best Actor, though Brendan Fraser may still be a spoiler for “The Whale” given his triumph at the Screen Actors Guild Awards.
“The Fabelmans” received seven nominations, including Steven Spielberg for best director. Notably, John Williams became the oldest competing Oscar nominee ever, earning a nod for Best Original Score at age 90.
“Top Gun: Maverick” received six nominations, including Best Picture. But Tom Cruise was not nominated for Best Actor as some thought. “TAR” also received six nominations. Both films seem like long shots to win, with Best Sound the top choice for “Maverick.”
By comparison, it was a muted opening for “Avatar: The Way of Water,” which, despite its box office buzz and its predecessor’s impressive Oscar nomination performance, only received four nods, including Picture. James Cameron was dropped as director. The film is considered to be the frontrunner for the best visual effects.
“Women Talking” received only two nominations and “Triangle of Sadness” three. But the films of the “Triangle” were especially impressive because the film was not released elsewhere: Original script, director and picture. “Women Talking” has a good shot at winning adapted screenplay after the film triumphed at the usually predictable USC Scripter Awards.
The 95th Academy Awards will take place tonight at the Dolby Theater in Los Angeles. Jimmy Kimmel returns as host for the third time, and in addition to streaming, it can also be streamed on ABC.com, Hulu Live TV and YouTubeTV.
